Being so close to a race, it is recommended that distance walkers/joggers/runners taper their workouts. This means that they start slowing down, doing less mileage, and putting less strain on their bodies so that come race day they are fresh and ready for anything. I am also tapering myself down.
I did a few miles yesterday. I will do a short 4 mile or so walk on Sunday with Chewy as we are meeting my walking group and only doing a little bit of a walk compared to my typical Sunday. On Thanksgiving, Chewy is doing a 5k with me that morning before we gorge ourselves on all sorts of tasty treats. That 5k will also be my last real walk/jog before the race that Sunday. I am sure I will do some other short walks here and there, but nothing like what I have been doing up to this point.
Just because I think this is fun, for 2.5 miles of the race, the course will lead me onto the express lanes of Interstate 90. I guess this is one time I can run/jog in traffic. No worries, I will manage some pictures while on this adventure.
